Sync New Asana Tasks to Notion Database
Stop losing tasks between tools. When you create a new task in Asana, Notis automatically adds it to your Notion projects database. No switching tabs, no re-typing—just one unified source of truth.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Jumping between Asana and Notion wastes mental energy. When a task lives in only one tool, you risk missing updates, creating duplicates, or spending 10 minutes hunting for context.
- Eliminate task entry duplication across tools
- Keep project overviews current without manual updates
- Search and filter all tasks in one Notion database
- Reduce context-switching friction for ADHD workflows
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Asana and Notion accounts to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
- 2Ask Notis in any channel: 'When a new task is created in Asana, add it to my Notion projects database.' Alternatively, go to Automations in the portal and create a new automation.
- 3Name the automation (e.g., 'Asana to Notion Task Sync') and write the prompt: 'Add the task title, assignee, due date, and project to my Notion database.'
- 4Select 'New Task Created' as the trigger and choose a channel (Telegram, email, Slack, etc.) where Notis will report successful syncs.
- 5Test by creating one task in Asana and verify it appears in Notion within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Will existing Asana tasks sync to Notion?
No, this automation only syncs tasks created after you activate it. To migrate historical tasks, ask Notis to do a one-time bulk import.
What if I change a task name in Asana after it syncs?
This automation only triggers on task creation. For ongoing updates, you can set up a separate 'Task Updated' automation to sync changes.
Can I customize which fields sync?
Yes, tell Notis in your prompt exactly which fields to include (title, due date, assignee, priority, project, etc.). Notis will extract and format them.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Notion actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add single content block to Notion page (Deprecated)
DEPRECATED: Use 'add_multiple_page_content' for better performance. Adds a single content block to a Notion page/block. CRITICAL: Notion API enforces a HARD LIMIT of 2000 characters per text.content field. Content exceeding 2000 chars is AUTOMATICALLY SPLIT into multiple sequential blocks. REQUIRED 'content' field for text blocks: paragraph, heading_1-3, callout, to_do, toggle, quote, list items. Parent blocks MUST be: Page, Toggle, To-do, Bulleted/Numbered List Item, Callout, or Quote. Common errors: - "content.length should be ≤ 2000": Text exceeds API limit (should be auto-handled) - "Content is required for paragraph blocks": Missing 'content' field for text blocks - "object_not_found": Invalid parent_block_id or no integration access For bulk operations, use 'add_multiple_page_content' instead.
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Append raw Notion blocks (advanced API)
DEPRECATED: Use NOTION_APPEND_TEXT_BLOCKS, NOTION_APPEND_TASK_BLOCKS, NOTION_APPEND_CODE_BLOCKS, NOTION_APPEND_MEDIA_BLOCKS, NOTION_APPEND_LAYOUT_BLOCKS, or NOTION_APPEND_TABLE_BLOCKS instead. Appends raw Notion API blocks to parent. Text limited to 2000 chars per text.content field. Each block MUST have 'object':'block' and 'type'. Use rich_text arrays for text blocks.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Append code blocks (code, quote, equation)
Append code and technical blocks (code, quote, equation) to a Notion page. Use for: - Code snippets and programming examples (code) - Citations and highlighted quotes (quote) - Mathematical formulas and equations (equation) Supported block types: - code: Code with syntax highlighting (70+ languages including Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, etc.) - quote: Block quotes for citations - equation: LaTeX/KaTeX mathematical expressions ⚠️ Code content is limited to 2000 characters per text.content field. For longer code, split into multiple code blocks. For other block types, use specialized actions: - append_text_blocks: paragraphs, headings, lists - append_task_blocks: to-do, toggle, callout - append_media_blocks: image, video, audio, files - append_layout_blocks: divider, columns, TOC - append_table_blocks: tables
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
Append layout blocks (divider, TOC, columns)
Append layout blocks (divider, TOC, breadcrumb, columns) to a Notion page. Supported types: - divider: Horizontal line separator - table_of_contents: Auto-generated from headings - breadcrumb: Page hierarchy navigation - column_list: Multi-column layout (requires 2+ columns, each with 1+ child block) For multi-column layouts, create column_list with column children in one request. Each column must contain at least 1 child block. For other blocks, use: append_text_blocks, append_task_blocks, append_code_blocks, append_media_blocks, or append_table_blocks.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
